  • EDUC 2015 - Elementary Mathematics and Science Teaching for Social Justice
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2024
    Working for social justice is central to teaching mathematics and science with elementary-aged children. This course engages prospective elementary teachers with a multitude of early math and science experiences that children draw upon to understand their worlds. Participants will develop interest-driven, culturally sustaining, and inclusive action plans for teaching math and science for social justice with young learners.
